Dental Implants in Twickenham

Teeth in a day (or Same day teeth) is a term used to describe an implant procedure where a full set of replacement teeth is fitted on the same day.  This is a more advanced and efficient alternative to traditional dental implant treatments that typically require multiple appointments and healing periods.

After your initial free consultation, one day implant treatment is done in a few hours at the same appointment.  To prevent any pain or discomfort your dentist will first give you a gentle local local anaesthetic or sedative.  

The treatment then involves four or six implants being surgically fixed to your jawbone in the space left by your missing teeth.

Your dentist will then fit a temporary bridge over the implants. You’ll have this for around 3 to 4 months as this allows the jawbone to mould around the implants and keep them in place. This will then be replaced with a permanent bridge.  

We aim to keep the cost of this treatment as affordable as possible compared to other experienced implant dentists near Twickenham.  

As an overall guide, dental implants from our Twickenham dental practice start from £2,000 per tooth.

The cost of dental implants will always vary depending upon several factors including:

The number of teeth you wish to replace.
The quality of the bone where the implant will be placed.
Whether you choose to have a dental bridge or denture (only for replacing multiple teeth).
The type of dental implants used

Our manufacturing partners in this field are Straumann, Osstem, Tatum and Adin – all world-renowned global brands in Dental Implantology. 

A dental implant is made of titanium which is gently placed into your jaw bone, using minimally invasive techniques. Over couple of months, the bone gradually bonds with the implant, to make a strong base on which we can then place a natural-looking porcelain crown.

Teeth Implants can be used to:

Replace Single Missing Teeth for a confident smile
Replace Multiple Missing Teeth to help with eating and chewing again
Stabilise Dentures so you can eat, smile and chew with confidence

This means dental implants can be used to replace as many missing teeth as you would like.

If you have missing or severely damaged teeth that are beyond repair, Dental Implants can be a safe, attractive and comfortable alternative to dentures or bridges.

Dental implants not only improve your smile, but they can also improve your overall quality of life.

The real key to the safety of dental implants is in the dental implant dentist doing the implant placement. It is always recommended that you seek plenty of dental implant reviews from happy patients and look for the credentials of the dentist that you have decided to visit.

The initial stage of the treatment is to place the dental implant, the visible healing will only take a few weeks but the actual implant will take between 4 & 6 months to fully integrate with the bone. 

After this integration period there maybe a second stage to the process where the dental implant is uncovered underneath the gum, this second stage surgery can also take a couple of weeks to heal.

The success rate for Dental Implants is quoted by the manufacturers in the region of 95%. The longevity of dental implants is also defined by the ability of the patient to keep the dental implant area clean. 

Dental implants can become infected around the bone the same as natural teeth, this will then have a reduction in the life of the dental implants.
